On holidays, every time I drink too much, my husband promises to help relatives

Every time I return to my husband’s hometown for the holidays, I am extremely tired. Not because of the long car rides, not because of gifts or because my relationship with my husband’s family is not good, but because I have a husband who “likes to promise”.

Remember 3 years ago, also on the occasion of April 30, my husband promised to give my grandchild a “stable job”. At that time, I was busy hunkering down in the kitchen helping my mother-in-law to pick up vegetables, not paying attention to the men’s words on the drinking table. It was not until when I went to the city, my cousin sent so many gifts from the countryside, bananas, coconuts, even a dream hen, that I was surprised, because in the past, she was famous for being thrifty. After listening to her thank you for a while, I understood the problem. The bus ride to Ho Chi Minh City, my husband was silent for 4 hours.

At that time, he not only promised to apply for a job for her, but also promised to dedicate a separate room in the house to “create conditions for her”. If my husband and I have real conditions, don’t say, over here, my house is small, with two children, a primary school child, a kindergarten child, is indescribably busy.

Every time she drank too much, her husband promised all sorts of things to his relatives. (Illustration)

About 2 months later, his nephew came to my house. The 19-year-old boy, just finished high school, dropped out of school. Also because he was too lazy, his cousin wanted to send him to the city to find a job. My husband at that time frantically begged his friends, until he gave his nephew a leg to work as a warehouse for the company.

The work is not too heavy, just inventory, in charge of counting the number of imports and exports, with many goods, then help other brothers and sisters to arrange neatly. However, after only 2 days of work, his nephew lamented to his mother that he was “exploited”, “thought he was introduced to a desk job, it turned out to be in a hot warehouse, harder than a security guard”.

My wife and I immediately received calls “to check in” from her. After analyzing for a while, she understood briefly the problem. Thinking it was quiet, we were tired again with the messy lifestyle of our unruly grandchild. Even though I’m 19 years old, I don’t help with any housework. In my free time at home, I get a computer to play games. After dinner, I go to my room, my things are thrown around, I don’t even remember whether to wear it or not. put in the washing machine.

Not to mention he has many bad habits, so my children also follow, they also throw things around, study lazily. When I reminded him, he argued: “Why don’t you remind me, but only remind me?” My house is in turmoil just because of my grandson’s presence, and deep down, it’s because of my husband’s happy promise.

After 1 month, his nephew asked for a new job, he said there was no other job, the boy turned to blame. His cousin also blamed my husband and I for treating him poorly. After staying for a while, the boy asked to go home. The waves have calmed down since then.

However, a few times after that, my husband still couldn’t get rid of the habit of making promises when he had too much to drink. At that time, he promised to buy her Seven blood pressure monitors and heart rate monitors. When I make an appointment with Uncle Ba to go to Ho Chi Minh City, I will take Uncle Ba to karaoke “tired”. Then he also promised Mr. A to give him a bottle of precious wine, promised to buy a laptop for Ms. B’s child…

So many times he promised to make me miserable. (Illustration)

Many of the promises he made were made while drunk. I know the personality he likes to show, only promising to show off, but for sincere people in the countryside, they believe and think it is a precious enthusiasm. It’s not like my husband didn’t keep his promise, but he wasn’t rich enough to take care of everything. When helping others is not complete, we will of course receive complaints and blame.

I have reminded my husband many times. After each broken promise, he apologized to his wife, but then it was nowhere to be found. So every time “after the ceremony”, my wife and I also quarreled.

This time on the bus back home for the holidays, I’m nervous about what my husband will promise again…
